Istanbul - Turkey [Archive]

its not very tall either, both london and frankfurt have four buildings taller than anything in istanbul. i give it six too... most of the highrise stuff is bad quality and its only the very tall stuff that is decent - something even asimov admits when hes being truthful. however i have high hopes for istanbul as it can only get better as they just need to knock a few hundred concrete blocks down and replace them with nicer buildings.

Many nice buildings but the skyline is really too spread out... No real custer of buildings or focal point >( Lacks in height too..

Okay. 8! Compared to it's population, there are not many high-rises. But I like the design of Istanbul buildings. Much better than Frankfurt, even if the buildings are not that tall. I think it is the No. 1 in Europe! "Frankfurters" and Londoners may feel a bit envy... Good that Istanbul does not build these exaggerated tall ugly skyscrapers. WOW!:D ;)

it has a unique kind of architecture yet modern:)
it needs more buildings though to deserve a perfect 10

Eh, the skyline is okay...I would visit more for the history. I haven't really seen the new plans, so I couldn't say if i'd like it in "2010". IMO stuff some people said about Istanbul made me think the skyline was like NYC :D but uh, who knows?

IMO
because of the earthquake risk a tall one is more expensive. so they have to build 2x30 storey instead of one big 60

It is due to lots of residental buildings having height between 10-20 floors splitted around in the suburbs of the city.

notice all the small family suburban houses right next to the skyscrapers :bash:

that's just bad urbanism in my book.

overall, the city has a large number of highrises and is developing fast, I'm impressed, but doesn't have a good urban structure (or at least I can't see it), it looks like all these sracpers and other neighbourhoods are thrown randomly all over the area... where's the center?

overall I must give it a 7/10 although it's not really the type of city I like

The Maslak Business District has some skyscrapers and it's bright and happy looking, but over all, the city does not really have much for such a huge city. Most Euro cities don't have much of a skyline.

Very interesting. It's on my wish-list to visit it once in my life.

The sky-line is amazing. Especially the coastal foto's and those with the big bridge with the sky-scrapers at the background.

For European standards, I would give it a 9.5/10. A mark 8/10 if you compare it to all other cities all over the world!!! As said before: the sky-line is nice looking, but not very big for such a big city. Anyway... I like it!!!

The policy of Istanbul Municipality is a bit different from the classical American City planning. A standard American city forms a city center / downtown in the core of the city with scrapers, all together, this is also adopted by many European cities also. So in just one shot you can see the whole skyline. In Istanbul in order to reduce traffic etc. problems, municipality prefers creating several centers. So we have more than one modern skylines (Levent-Gayrettepe, Maslak and smaller ones Şişli and Kozyatağı), and even city planners are working on opening new centers in few years. I guess it could better if they were all together.

I agree your point about the houses with gardens next to skyscrapers. :)

I voted 9.0

Because Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities all over the world, it has remarkable historic buildings, two sides at Asia and Europe, big bridges, beautiful natural settings, several nice places that I have seen to these pictures, and It looks like a well developed city with a high level of life. I would be happy if someday I could trip there once in my life.

Otherwise my impressions about its skyline are pointing about the location of tall towers and its distance among several buildings, and the clusters of buildings looks kind of separated. I think it needs more definition of the CBD, maybe in the future it could be better, so I watched a bunch of new projects under construction over there.

They seems to be found of twin towers ;)

I like the skyline though. Must be one of the best in Europe.

It's hard for a city with a history of 2500 years old to turn into a modern city. People don't like Istanbul because of her modern skyline. People love Istanbul because of her history, art, atmosphere and city life. Even if Istanbul gets twice as much skyscrapers as NYC, she will never be a New York. The same goes for Paris, London, Rome or Athens. These are not and will not be in the same league as Chicago, Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong or Tokio. That is also the reason why European city's aren't succesfull compared to Asian and American city's. Even Pittsburgh with its 317.000 inhabitants has a better skyline....

But all in all I give Istanbul a 8,5.
